Maximum entropy coordinates for arbitrary polytopes
In the attached paper, we construct new generalized coordinates for arbitrary polytopes in d-dimensions (polygons and polyhedra in 2- and 3-dimensions, respectively) using the principle of maximum entropy. The paper is to appear in Computer Graphics Forum and will be presented at the SGP'08 Conference in Denmark.
Load-displacement curve for concrete
Hi
I am trying to predict load-displacement curve for concrete cube numerically through ABAQUS. I am just beginer with ABAQUS, I have gone through the concrete material models available in ABAQUS. I found that smeared crack model well suite for analysis. Initially I am simulating a 2D model, I am using plane stress elements with static, Riks options, even I could able to complete the analysis, I am confused how to view the cracked elements and how to plot load-displacement curve.
Leonardo da Vinci the precursor of Publish AND Perish ---- not Publish OR Perish -- the present model is dead!
Dear Imechanica friends
I recently pointed to a very interesting paper by Fabio Casati and collegues from Trento University in Italy.
They say PUBLISH AND PERISH: WHY THE CURRENT PUBLICATIONAND REVIEW MODEL IS

Short and long Beam classification
I want to understand how beams are classified in terms of short and long beams. What is the criteria to classify them. Please suggest any reference.

Effect of Surface Morphology on the Stability of Thin Nanostructures
We have recently studied the atomic scale structural stability of
freestanding wavy gold (Au) nanofilms using molecular dynamics
simulations. In recent years, wavy or patterned structurs have shown great promise for applications in various emerging technologies including fuel cells
engineering, tissue engineering, biomedical engineering, creation
of counterfeit-resistant documents , nanolithography in microelectronics, optoelectronics, nanomachinesand many others. It is out of question that the success of these novel applications lies on one crucial factor – the
About a work on theoretical modeling
Hi
I am a graduate student at University of Alabama. I am working on Stochastic modeling of damage evolution. Recently I have finished the mathematical/theoretical modeling section. I haven't done any Numerical or FEA simulation or experimental analysis. In this first phase I emphasized on the mathematical formulation and some short proofs. I wish to submit this work to a relevent journal. Can anyone please let me know if there is any suitable journal for this kind purely theoretical as well as solid/applied mechanics work related to stochastic modeling of damage mechanics?
Energy Balance Invariance for Interacting Particle Systems
This paper studies the invariance of balance of
energy for a system of interacting particles under groups of
transformations. Balance of energy and its invariance is first
examined in Euclidean space. Unlike the case of continuous media,
it is shown that conservation and balance laws do not follow
from the assumption of invariance of balance of energy under
time-dependent isometries of the ambient space. However, the
postulate of invariance of balance of energy under arbitrary
